(a/n): This is my first death note fan fiction. I hope I got the characters personalities right!
"Come on Nate! It's time for school. I'll walk you there", a girl about to turn 10 said to the little white haired boy, "And remember, Ill pick you up after school. Wait by the back doors."
Those were the last words his sister said to him before she disappeared. The 4 year old waited and waited on her after school, but she never showed up. He started to walk home and when he got there, his parents said she hadn't come home yet. He started to worry. She never came home that night.
Near sat there and thought about that night years ago. He could never forget it. His sister, who was the only person who had ever shown him love, had disappeared with no trace left behind. The police had no leads or suspects.
Roger walked down the long corridor and into the twelve year olds room and said, "Near, L has just sent some information to us regarding the Kira case. Mello and Matt are already downstairs waiting."
Near turned around and put down the toy very gently, not wanting to damage his oldest one. He then stood up and walked past Roger and into the foyer to sit on the chair in his signature pose. He looked at the computer while he twirled his hair, not really paying much attention until three images flashed on the screen. There was a girl with blonde pig tails and brown eyes with the name Misa Amane under one of the photos. Next to that image was a boy with light brown hair and brown eyes names Light Yagami. And the last picture was of a girl with hair to her ears that was jet black with ocean blue eyes. There was no name under the last picture but Near already knew who it was.
"L said that these three are the main suspects in the case. We know that Misa Amane and Light Yagami are connected and have contact with each other often", Roger said pointing to the first two pictures, "But we have no idea who this third person is, but we do know that she is somehow connected to Kira. We need to find as much information as we can on this-" But before Roger could finish Near had ran out of the room.
"What's his problem?" a blonde boy munching on chocolate asked.
"Maybe he has a crush on one of the suspects?" a boy with goggles and red hair said.
Near had ran to his room and slammed the door shut behind him. 'It can't be! She has been lost for 9 years! And now she may be linked to the Kira case! No, she would never do anything like that!'
Roger knocked on the door to Near's room. He was worried why he had ran off like that. A voice spoke from the other side of the door telling him, "L has made a mistake. He is wrong."
At that moment Mello and Matt had come to check on him also. Mello stopped once he heard what Near had said. "What the hell do you mean! L would never mess up! You must just be jealous that he is finding new information on the case before you are!" Mello yelled through the door to the white haired boy.
The younger boy then opened the door holding his most prized toy in his right hand. He looked into the blonde haired boys eyes and said, "L has made a mistake. Kita River would never have anything to do with Kira."
"Who the hell is Kita River?"
"Kita River was the last picture on the screen."
"And how the hell do you know that she is not linked to the Kira murders?"
"Because, Kita is my sister." Near said as he looked at the toy that Kita had given him years ago.
Mello took a step back and looked at the white haired boy as the normal, dead-panned expression that usually was in the boys eyes had been replaced by a look of surprise and pain.
"I will call Watari to tell him that we have learned the name of the last suspect in the case." Roger said breaking the staring contest between the two boys.
